In this expository note, we study several families of periodic graphs which satisfy a sufficient condition for the ergodicity of the associated continuous-time quantum walk. For these graphs, we compute the limiting distribution of the walk…

We study the entanglement dynamics of discrete time quantum walks acting on bounded finite sized graphs. We demonstrate that, depending on system parameters, the dynamics may be monotonic, oscillatory but highly regular, or quasi-periodic.…

The node2vec random walk is a non-Markovian random walk on the vertex set of a graph, widely used for network embedding and exploration. This random walk model is defined in terms of three parameters which control the probability of,…

The goal of this note is to prove a law of large numbers for the empirical speed of a green particle that performs a random walk on top of a field of red particles which themselves perform independent simple random walks on $\Z^d$, $d \geq…

We develop a model for a random walker with long-range hops on general graphs. This random multi-hopper jumps from a node to any other node in the graph with a probability that decays as a function of the shortest-path distance between the…

We propose a one parameter family of random walk processes on hypergraphs, where a parameter biases the dynamics of the walker towards hyperedges of low or high cardinality. We show that for each value of the parameter the resulting process…

We consider random walks $X,Y$ on a finite graph $G$ with respective lazinesses $\alpha, \beta \in [0,1]$. Let $\mu_k$ and $\nu_k$ be the $k$-step transition probability measures of $X$ and $Y$. In this paper, we study the Wasserstein…
